Structure enabling golf club to steadily stand

ABSTRACT

A structure enabling a golf club bag to steadily stand located at an opening of a golf club bag includes two symmetrical and pivotally disposed supporting posts. A lower portion of the golf club bag is pivotally disposed with at least one upholding post, which is extended upward along an inner periphery of the golf club bag and has an upper end thereof joined with an inner periphery of an opening of the golf club bag. When rotating the upholding post, the golf club bag is capable of standing at a tilted angle on a planar surface. Therefore, when rotating the upholding post to the tilted angle and stretching the supporting posts on the planar surface, the golf club bag is capable of steadily standing on the planar surface without being slippery.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a structure enabling a golf club bag tosteadily stand, and more particularly, to a golf club bag having abottom portion thereof staying appressed against a planar surface whenrotating upholding posts and sockets in the golf club bag and having abag of the golf club bag in an inclined angle with a bottom portionthereof. Therefore, when supporting posts of the golf club bag arestretched to stand on the planar surface, the golf club bag is enabledto steadily stand at an inclined angle by having the bottom portionthereof staying appressed to the planar surface.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Referring to FIG. 1 showing a conventional supporting device of a golfclub bag, a golf club bag 1 has a longitudinal fixed section 11; apivotal member 12 disposed at an upper end of the fixed section 11; twosupporting posts 13 extended downward and symmetrically provided at twosides of the pivotal member 12; an elastic element 14 disposed near andbetween pivotal ends of the supporting posts 13, with two ends of theelastic member 14 joining the supporting posts 13; two symmetrical steelcables 15 extended downward from where the supporting posts 13approaching the elastic member 14, with ends thereof steel cables 15joining an inner edge of a supporting section 16 at a bottom portion ofthe golf club bag 1, and one end of the supporting section 16 pivotallydisposed at the lower portion of the golf club bag 1. Wherein, betweenthe steel wires 15 is a locating element 151. When putting the structureto use, the supporting posts 13 are stretched such that the supportingposts 13 and the supporting section 16 form particular angles to erecton a planar surface, thereby enabling the golf club bag 1 to stand onthe planar surface.

However, this prior golf club bag 1 becomes capable of steadily standingon the planar surface by necessarily utilizing the supporting section16. Thus, production expenses and time are increased for manufacturingand installing the supporting section 16; not only overall productioncosts are raised, but also complicated manufacturing procedures areresulted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In the view of the aforesaid prior golf club bag with drawbacks ashaving increased production costs and complicated manufacturingprocedures, the primary object of the invention is to provide astructure enabling a golf club bag to steadily stand on a planarsurface. The structure located at an opening of a golf club bag has twosymmetrical supporting posts extended downward and pivotally disposed attwo sides of the pivotal section; and a steel cable provided at eachsupporting post and approaching the opening of the golf club bag.Wherein, the steel cables are extended along an outer edge of the golfclub bag to a bottom portion of the golf club bag, and are joined withan embedding element at the bottom portion of the golf club bag.

In addition, the golf club bag is pivotally at disposed with at least asocket at an inner bottom periphery thereof, wherein the sockets arerotatable at an inner bottom portion of the golf club bag. Each socketis accommodated around an upholding post. The upholding posts areextended upward along an inner periphery of the golf club bag, and haveupper ends thereof connected with the inner periphery of the opening ofthe golf club bag. When the upholding posts and the sockets are rotated,the bottom portion of the club golf bag is appressed against a planarsurface, and a bag of the golf club bag is inclined at an angle relativeto the bottom portion. Therefore, when the upholding posts and thesockets are rotated to the inclined angle and the supporting posts arestretched to stand on the planar surface, for that the bottom portion ismaintained appressed against the planar surface, the golf club bag isenabled to steadily stand at the inclined angle on the planar surfacewithout being slippery. The invention utilizes an original bottomportion of a golf club bag for staying appressed against a planarsurface without needing other elements, and hence production costs arereduced while also simplifying manufacturing procedures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

To better understand objects, shapes, structural characteristics andfunctions of the invention, detailed descriptions of preferredembodiments shall be given with the accompanying drawings below.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 showing a structure enabling a golf club bagto steadily stand according to the invention, a golf club bag 2 has apivotal section 21 near a periphery of an opening 20; two symmetricalsupporting posts 22 extended downward and pivotally disposed at twosides of the pivotal section 21; a steel cable 23 provided at eachsupporting post 22 and approaching the opening 20 of the golf club bag2, with the steel cables 23 extended along an outer edge of the golfclub bag 2 to a bottom portion 26 of the golf club bag 2, and joinedwith an embedding element 24 at the bottom portion 26 of the golf clubbag 2. Wherein, each steel wire 23 has a fixing plate 231 at a centerportion thereof, such that the fixing plates 231 are joined with thesteel cables 23 for providing the steel cables 23 with elasticity.Therefore, when the supporting posts 23 are stretched to stand on aplanar surface, using characteristics of the steel cables 23 as beingnon-slippery by leaning against the fixing plates 231, the supportingposts 22 are enabled to steadily locate at an angle being stretched asshown in FIG. 3.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the golf club bag 2 is pivotally at disposedwith at least a socket 25 at an inner bottom periphery thereof, whereinthe sockets 25 are rotatable at an inner bottom portion of the golf clubbag 2. Each socket 25 is accommodated around an upholding post 251. Theupholding posts 251 are extended upward along an inner periphery of thegolf club bag 2, and have upper ends thereof connected with the innerperiphery of the opening 20 of the golf club bag 2. Referring to FIGS.3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, when the upholding posts 251 and the sockets 25 arerotated to a specific angle (37 degrees, for example), the bottomportion 26 of the club golf bag 2 are appressed against a planarsurface, and a bag 27 of the golf club bag 2 is inclined at an anglerelative to the bottom portion 26 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7. Therefore,when the upholding posts 251 and the sockets 25 are rotated to theinclined angle and the supporting posts 22 are stretched to stand on theplanar surface, for that the bottom portion 26 maintained appressedagainst the planar surface, the golf club bag 2 is enabled to steadilystand at the inclined angle on the planar surface without beingslippery.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, according to the invention, the bottomportion 26 is provided with a blocking member 28 at a positionapproaching a side of each socket 25. The blocking members 28 are forstopping the sockets 25 to prevent the sockets 25 from turning in areverse direction.

Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, according to the invention, the embeddingelement 24 is disposed at the inner periphery of the bottom portion 26of the golf club bag 2. The steel cables 23 are extended downward alongthe outer periphery of the golf club bag 2 to reach the bottom portion26 of the golf club bag 2, penetrated through an opening 271 at a bottomportion of the bag 2 of the golf club bag 2, and joined with theembedding element 24 at the inner bottom portion 26 of the golf club bag2. Using the embedding element 24 located in the bag 2, the embeddingelement 24 and lower ends of the steel cables 23 are protected, therebypreventing the embedding element 24 and the lower ends of the steelcables 23 from damages caused by impacts.
